KEY POINTS
- •Google released a commercial in 2025 showing parents using Gemini AI to locate their child’s lost stuffed lamb, Mr. Fuzzy.
- •The toy was accidentally left on an airplane, and although tracked, the replacement was on backorder and unavailable immediately.
- •While waiting, the parents created images and videos with Gemini AI as a stalling tactic to ease their child's distress.
In a tale as old as lost luggage, Google introduces Gemini AI in a heart-tugging 2025 ad where two parents desperately track down their child's beloved lamb, Mr. Fuzzy, left behind on an airplane. Despite soaring tech powers, Gemini hits a snag: the replacement plush is backordered, forcing the family into creative stalling with AI-generated images and vids. Bonus irony points for failing to buy a backup plush despite endless parenting advice. Google’s Gemini shows you can have futuristic tracking but still can’t beat Amazon’s plush limitations—because nothing says modern family drama like a beloved lamb stuck in a shipping queue.
